Target Clearance Thread XXIV

Just did a quick run-through at our local Target.   No 50% off or clearance discount signs in or around video games, but a few games were ringing up for less than marked when taken to the price-check at the end of the aisle.

 

Picked up:
PS4: Dark Alliance (Marked $30, rang up $12)
(Brickseek is bringing up the wrong info; it brings up a different title called Yomawari Midnight Shadows?   UPC is 816819018583 and DPCI is 207-34-0306.)

PS4: Trover Saves the Universe (Marked $30, rang up $9.99)
https://brickseek.co...sku=207-34-0289

PS4: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 (Marked $30, rang up $9.99)
https://brickseek.co...sku=207-34-9404

XB1: Wolfenstein Youngblood Deluxe Edition (Marked $40, rang up $19.99)
https://brickseek.co...sku=207-32-2049

XB1: World of Final Fantasy (Marked $30, rang up $0)
https://brickseek.co...sku=207-32-0192

World of Final Fantasy was ringing up $0.00, so we took it to checkout to see what would happen.  The cashier keyed in the $29.99 price on the sticker, and we made mention that it wasn't scanning for that price.  She flagged over a manager, and they both scanned it a couple times before the manager said she'd let me have it for $7.98.  YMMV, of course.

Every time I scan an item and it comes up $0.00 my stupid ass brain goes "ooh, maybe...?" for like .5 seconds

My brain does that every time that I see a hot woman walking on the street.  :shock:

First quote has a higher probability of going though than the second quote does.

:switch:
Disney Tsum Tsum Festival - $12.49

Popped up at a store I had already visited previously. They must have pulled it out of the back or something because it wasn't there before.

Sorry for being a bit off topic but has anyone done the $8 two year warranties on controllers? (The warranty that’s thru Allstate). Just curious if it’s worth it to put it on a PS5 controller or if it’s a pain in the ass to deal with if the controller does break.

Anecdotally on the insurance. We had a TV that died and had the Allstate insurance on it, they had us do some diagnostic stuff, then take some pics of the error and send them. They then just gave us back the full amount of what we paid on the TV, but not the $30 we spent on the insurance. It was a pretty painless process. We got the approval on the phone and the check within 7 days.

Okay good to know thanks. I’ll get it when I pick up the blue PS5 controller.

Not a clearance deal but I had a cartwheel wheel for 10% off a purchase and it worked for both a Dualsense and a preorder of Elden Ring

Spotted on my Twitter feed: potentially price/promo mistake however you wanna call it, YMMV.

Guess I know what I'm doing at lunch. Did it ring up automatically or did they have to adjust it?

its probably an adjustment as the b1g1 promo is regarding the free art thing it comes with

That'd be my guess as well that it's due to the freebie item.

I'm at Target now but it's sold out so can't try. I see 2 Switch in the display case along with three copies of Mario Kart home circuit.

As I mentioned earlier here for a similar promo for another title, this sort of thing is people misconstruing the situation. It's actually supposed to be get a free bonus/swag item with purchase of the game, NOT buy 1 get 1 free on the game itself, so adjust your expectations accordingly. Bottom line, if at Target they do the latter then they are making a mistake and are fools.

Honestly, In the Small  portable Price Checker Unit it show up Buy 1 get 1 Free.  I refer you call  your local Target customer service & give them DPCI # 207-30-2389 to see the item instock or not.  If yes, you can ask  them on hold  (2 copies) of Arcues  and tell them you be there in 10-30 minutes to pick it up. Also, ask it's still on sale for  Buy 1 get 1 Free ?  If they say Yes... whenever you pick up the 2 copies they will look it up at the Portable Price Checker Unit and do price adjustment Buy 1 get 1 for $0.01 or 50% off on both copies.

 

Do not greedy ask for FREE ITEM.

Pfft, all in or nothing I say. Can always swap a game later so you're not stuck trading/selling the extra copy. I don't even buy many games anymore so it's a bit weird for me to feel muted on a sweet deal like this.

I have to say it is pretty tempting to do this.  I could give the second copy to my niece for her birthday present at no cost to me.

pokemon is one of those series where most of the fans are adults.

it'd be much more tempting if it was an actual deal that wasn't extremely YMMV. This will require getting a rep who doesn't care and is willing to override the price.

Except that it's not a "deal." It's employing the sort of scummy tactics that if reversed, and Target advertised a Buy One Get One free deal but when you walked up to the register with two copies of the game and the associate was all, "Well actually, the deal is buy one copy of the game and you'll get this stationary set for free" yall would be (rightfully) crying false advertising and (rightfully) saying what a piece of crap Target was for pulling such shenanigans.

Interesting enough  last night saw Assassins Creed Origins shelf tagged for $4.99 on Xbox and $5.99 on PS4.. 

 

Not yellow clearance but bold white tags...

 

First time I saw this so kind of cool.
